Her evocative storytelling and whimsical melodies are stronger than ever, but this time with wisdom on the transience of time woven intricately into the album’s every fiber. The perspective motherhood lent Spektor is evident everywhere on the album. And for the first time ever, she released an album consisting of entirely new songs.
In the years since 2012’s What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, she’s undergone some substantial life changes: Spektor became a mother in 2014. On Spektor’s latest release, Remember Us to Life, that assessment might actually have some validity. That’s not to say her albums have ever felt cobbled together - seven highly successful records would argue with that - but the sprinkling into the mix of songs written when she was 18 certainly made it difficult to declare a heightened maturity from one album to the next. Regina Spektor’s albums have always been collections of songs written throughout her career: shiny new tunes gleaming with the wisdom of her 30s mixed in with relics of her younger years.
